Best Splurge-Worthy One-Piece Swimsuit

Why We Love It:

  • Designer zigzag pattern

  • Fully lined

This rayon maillot in Italian luxury designer Missoni's signature print is more like a collectible fashion item than a regular old swimsuit. In addition to rocking it by the pool, we'd wear it as a top with shorts, and even as a fancy dinner outfit under a jacket with slinky trousers. Sure, it's an investment, but way more creative (and cheaper) than a designer purse.
